The cast and creatives of the Broadway musical “Parade” are speaking out against antisemitism after protesters heckled audience members Tuesday.
After wrapping the show’s first preview performance, star Ben Platt denounced “neo-Nazi protesters” in an Instagram post shared Tuesday evening.
“For those who don’t know, there were a few neo-Nazi protesters from a really disgusting group outside of the theater, bothering some of our patrons on their way in and saying antisemitic things about Leo Frank, who the show is about, and just spreading antisemitic rhetoric that led to this whole story in the first place,” the Tony winner said in his video.
